Mosi oa-Tunya-(the smoke that thunders)

SQUIRRELS on a MISSION

Having lived in South Africa my whole life, I have become used to our amazing road system. It’s normal for me to ride to work on a modern five-lane highway, covering the 40km in no time.

Then I wish I was already in a helicopter zooming overhead to my destination.
